Παγουλάτος, Γιώργος, (2013), «Με το μάτι στη μεγάλη εικόνα», Η Καθημερινή, 3 Μαρτίου. Μετά την απόφαση του 55% των Ιταλών να πηδήξουν στο κενό ψηφίζοντας έναν επαγγελματία γελωτοποιό κι έναν «κλόουν» πολιτικό, το μήνυμα φαίνεται σαφές: η αντιμετώπιση της κρίσης του Νότου μονομερώς με εξουθενωτική λιτότητα οδηγεί την Ευρωζώνη στα ακραία όρια συνοχής και αντοχής της.
Grant, Charles, Tilford, Simon, (2013), “Two cheers for Beppe Grillo”, The Centre for European Reform, 1 Μαρτίου. The Achilles heel of the euro has always been democracy. Although the euro is unlikely to break up, that risk cannot be entirely excluded: one day, voters may choose a government committed to policies that are incompatible with the conditions set by Europe’s leaders for membership of the single currency.”
Becker, Werner, Löchel, Horst, Gregosz, David, (2013) “Crisis Management in the Euro Area: Why Europe’s Policy is on the Right Track”, The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. The aim of this article is to show that the crisis-driven pragmatism of politics is an appropriate way of resolving the problems in the currency area and placing the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on a new, more stable footing. The paper will show …Read More
Manasse, Paolo, (2013), ‘Eurozone Crisis: It Ain’t Over Yet’, www.economonitor.com, 17 Ιανουαρίου. All G7 economies are struggling in the post-crisis climate, but US GDP has recovered to pre-crisis levels, while the Eurozone simply hasn’t. This column portrays the global crisis as a transitory shock for the US, but as a quasi-permanent shock for Europe.
Walton, Nicholas, Zielonka, Jan, (2013), ‘The new political geography of Europe’ , The European Council on Foreign Relations. The euro crisis has revolutionised politics across Europe, obscured by a focus on whatʼs happening in Berlin and Brussels. Established political parties are fighting for their lives, and countries have been cast out from the European core to the periphery. A new collection of essays, edited by Nicholas Walton and Jan Zielonka, …Read More
Mazower, Mark, (2012), ‘Weimar 2013?”, www.project-syndicate.org, 31 December. The worst crisis of capitalism since the Great Depression of the 1930’s has reawakened grim memories on both sides of the Atlantic. The ghost of Franklin Delano Roosevelt haunts Barack Obama’s United States. Historical arguments over whether FDR’s New Deal worked now form an important part of American debates over current monetary and fiscal policy in general, and the US Federal Reserve’s …Read More
Fischer, Joschka, (2012), ‘Europe’s New Year’s Irresolution’, www.project-syndicate.org, 31 Δεκεμβρίου. Will the eurozone crisis end in 2013, or will it drag on throughout the year, and perhaps even deteriorate anew? This is likely to be not only the crucial question for the European Union’s further development, but also a key issue affecting the performance of the global economy.
Dullien, Sebastian, Torreblanca Ignacio, Jose,(2012), ‘What is political union?’, The European Council on Foreign Relations. “The euro crisis has led to a massive transfer of power to the EU level, and made political union a genuine possibility. But although pro-Europeans now agree that political union is necessary to save the euro, they often have in mind very different things. A new ECFR paper by Sebastian Dullien and José Ignacio Torreblanca …Read More
Emmanouilidis, Janis, (2012),‘Between Collateral Damage and ‘Iron Law’, Ελληνική Επιθεώρηση Πολιτικής Επιστήμης, Τεύχος 39, Μάιος-Νοέμβριος. The article argues that the euro crisis has put European integration to a major test – more profound and more serious than ever before. Beyond the more immediate financial and economic effects, the crisis has inflicted collateral damage: unintended and unexpected consequences at both the national and European level, which could jeopardise not only the EU’s ability …Read More
Featherstone, Kevin, (2012), ‘Le choc de la nouvelle? Maastricht, dé jà vu and EMU reform’, Ελληνική Επιθεώρηση Πολιτικής Επιστήμης, Τεύχος 39, Μάιος-Νοέμβριος. The Maastricht legacy casts a long shadow on current reform efforts to stabilize the Eurozone or, worse, avoid its break-up. The initial agreement was vulnerable on two fronts, the absence of economic governance and a lack of cross national-solidarity that would have supported burden-sharing the EMU. The sovereign …Read More
